Chp. 3
Addison's thoughts were swimming on her way to work the next morning. She was trying to think of how she would bring up the fact that she was in love with Meredith later that morning. As she parked in the hospital, she exhaled a breath and stepped out of her car. She walked into the hospital and ordered her usual caramel macchiato at the coffee cart and went to her office. She was debating whether or not to page Meredith so she could talk to her first thing in the morning and decided to send the intern a text.
A: Good-morning Mer…. I was hoping you could come by my office I kinda have to talk to you
Addison reread her text and skeptically hit the send button.

Meredith was just changing in to her scrubs when she heard her phone beep. Addison had texted her and wanted to meet in her office this morning. Meredith quickly pulled her scrub shirt over her head and was walking over to Addison's office when she heard a familiar voice behind her call out her name.
"Hey Mer where you going?" She turned around to see Lilli waiting patiently for an answer to her question. Meredith walked closer to her friend and mumbled into her ear,
"Addison wants to talk to me."
"Oh," Lilli paused before she continued. "well look whatever happens I'm here just promise me you won't let her walk all over you again." Lilli pleaded.
"Oh trust me, not gonna happen. No one walks over Meredith Grey." Meredith said lifting the sleeve of her scrubs and showing Lilli her "muscles" before giggling loudly. Lilli laughed and gave Meredith a warm smile as the blonde intern walked out of the door in route to Addison's office.

Addison straightened out her hair before announcing a "Come in." Addison smiled and took a deep breath when she saw Meredith's thin figure step into her office and close the door.
"Hey," Addison said meekly.
"Hi." Meredith replied with a smile. Addison could feel her stomach do a back flip when Meredith smiled. Everything about the intern made the redhead feel butterflies in her stomach. After a few seconds of awkwardly staring at each other, Addison started, "Look Meredith," The neonatal surgeon was quickly cut off by the intern.
"Addison, I am sick of how you treat me. You walk all over me and I'm done putting up with it." Meredith stated sternly.
"Meredith," the redhead pleaded.
"No Addison I'm done with it. You don't care about me or how you make me feel when you're a complete bitch for no good reason! So this time I'm walking away from you!" Meredith yelled as she filed out of the attending's office. Addison quickly stood up and followed the intern into the still empty hallway.
"Meredith I do care about you!" the attending yelled after her, but the intern continued walking.
"Bullshit Addison!" Meredith quickly replied.
"Meredith, Mer!" Addison called but Meredith still wouldn't stop.
"Meredith I'm in love with you!" Addison yelled down the deserted hallway. Meredith froze in her tracks and turned around to see the redhead with tears pooled in her cobalt eyes.
"Do you really mean that?" Meredith asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Yeah, I do." Addison said quietly. Meredith walked towards the redhead and linked her hands behind Addison's neck and looked into the attending's blue eyes and whispered,
"You don't know how long I've waited to hear you say that." Meredith said happily. Addison let out a breath she wasn't even aware she was holding and let herself melt into Meredith's embrace.
"Really?" Addison asked.
"Really." Meredith replied simply. She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and opened the text Lilli sent her.
L: Where are u? It's almost time 4 rounds!
Meredith sighed as she looked at her watch and realized it was indeed time for rounds.
"I have to go." Meredith said sadly. She placed a soft kiss on Addison's lips and rested her forehead against the redhead's.
"I love you Addison." Meredith said sincerely. Addison looked up and could see the truth in Meredith's eyes.
"I love you too Mer." Addison replied with tears again spilling down her face.
"Hey, hey! No crying! I'm not that bad!" Meredith said playfully as she kissed away the redhead's tears. Addison laughed at Meredith's comment.
"They're happy tears Mer." Addison clarified.
"Good, because I was starting to worry… We haven't even been together 24 hours and I'm already making you cry." Meredith said jokingly. She kissed Addison once more before rushing to the locker room hoping her resident wasn't there yet.
